On March 16, the Northern Neck Dart Association (NNDA) concluded its 2012-2013 season with their annual awards banquet at the Montross Moose Lodge. An awesome feast was prepared by NNDA League President Chris “Pork Chop” Saulnier and his wife Amanda. Great job, guys, and thanks again to all those who helped make this year’s banquet a huge success!

Congratulations to the Montross Moose Lodge Dart Team of Paul Compton, Teresa Edwards, David Jones, Randolph Jones, John Madison, Mike Painter, Pork Chop, and Billy Taylor for once again finishing in second place for the regular season and then winning the season-ending tournament.

Winners of these awards are determined by all the members of the dart league, who each vote for who they think is the most deserving players.
